Free Vintage Cross Stitch Patterns

This collection adapts classic artwork and retro design into stitchable charts - the kind of pieces that look like they took a professional to plot. Many are drawn from public-domain paintings and posters, so you can stitch a little art history without worrying about rights. Fair warning: the more painterly charts reward patience and a higher fabric count. Every pattern is free to open, resize, and print.

Make your own vintage pattern Free, in your browser - from a photo, a description, or a blank canvas.
